ULI K HIKE & YOGA

Offerings

At the heart of my work is a deep love for movement, nature, and meaningful connection. Through UliK Hike & Yoga, I offer guided hikes—with or without yoga—on some of Marin’s most breathtaking trails, alongside weekly classes and workshops at Metta Yoga Studios, recently named Best Yoga Studio in Marin.

I also host day retreats that blend hiking and yoga for a deeply nourishing reset. In addition, I specialize in private events, personalized retreats, and one-on-one sessions—whether you are training for a specific trek, looking to deepen your practice, or simply craving time to reconnect in a supportive, tailored setting.​

 

It is truly my passion and sincere wish to share with you what I’ve learned – both physically and mentally – over these past 25 years. I blend my experience and daily routine of running, hiking, yoga, pilates and meditation to bring you the same well-being, calm and joy that has been life-changing for me.

HIKING EVENTS

 

Harvesting Stillness — A Fall Hike for Renewal

October  11th, 20255| 9:00am — 2:00pm

 

These days, it’s hard not to feel the weight of the world. The noise of politics, the accelerated pace of change and the relentless rush of media all tug at our energy and leave us unsteady. In the midst of this, fall arrives as a gentle teacher—reminding us that release is natural, and that grounding ourselves can bring clarity and peace . Time in nature is our hidden super power —restoring nervous system balance, ease, and presence.

This hike offers a chance to step away from the noise and return to what is essential. Together we’ll wander Marin’s golden trails, breathe in the crisp air, and find steadiness in nature’s rhythms. Through movement, breath, and reflection, we’ll let go of what no longer serves—making space for renewal, resilience, and presence.

📍Start and Finish at Mountain Home Inn, Mill Valley

💰Cost: $65 per Person  (includes guided hike, meditation  and hearty snacks).

Discover the true essence of core strength in our “Empower Your Core” Yoga Fusion class. This class goes beyond traditional ab workouts and delves into the comprehensive world of core muscles that encompasses your entire midsection. We’ll explore the pelvis, glutes, hips, back and front muscles of your torso - the central part of your body, sometimes likened to the trunk of a tree.  

Like a sturdy tree with strong roots and a solid trunk, a well-developed core is the foundation for the rest of your body’s movements. By engaging and strengthening this vital area, you’ll experience enhanced balance, stability and overall physical health. 

We will flow through a series of dynamic and mindful poses designed to activate and challenge all aspects of our core. Learn how to properly engage each muscle group, preventing your body from relying only on the strongest muscles, safeguarding against overuse and achieving balance.  

Whether you are a seasoned yogi or beginner, the increased power, flexibility and mobility will enrich your daily life and elevate your overall wellbeing.
